Welcome to the cursed island of Shina Dark. This island is called home by the dark lord Exoda C. Claw AKA Satan. He's as powerful a being as you could ever hope to meet. Feared and hated the world over for the infinite amount of atrocities he's committed. He's.....actually a really nice guy who just wants to chill out around the castle and relax... After a month long nap he awakens to find that the rest of the world has made up another ridiculous rumor and blown it way out of proportion and that has caused his little island to be crowded with a thousand beautiful girls meant to be his mistresses/sacrifices. Worse yet is that since they have set foot on his island they are all believed to be cursed and are now shunned by their homelands. What’s a couch potato Satan to do with 1000 women who wont leave? Who can say?

From Operation Boredom:

During an eclipse, demon Lord Exoda. C. Crown was revived. He is supposed to bring chaos and destruction to the world. The world is panicking, and as a sacrifice to the demon lord, they decide to send 1,000 girls to the demonic island, Shina Dark. However, in Shina Dark, all the legends are lies. Exoda does not sleep with 10 girls a night, and keep the others prisoners. He does not lust for girls, he does not want to cause mass destruction - he simply wants to live in peace. So when 1,000 girls suddenly show up in his island and refuse to leave, what will happen to Exoda, who simply wants to be left alone?

I felt the story was okay. Not terribly strong, but better than some, and not hard to understand. The fanservice... well, I really don't pay much attention to that. The art style is nice. My one complaint: Why don't they just stick with "Maou-sama?" Why try to translate his name at all? (For those who don't know, "Maou-sama" means "demon king.")

I usually hate all harem manga (other than some Tenchi and a few others); with the whiny, bumbling protagonists that all the girls seem oddly attracted to and throw themselves at. But I actually like Shina Dark. The first thing I like most about Shina Dark is the fact that the girls are actually independent and have some degree of intelligence and not complete morons who bend over backwards for some stupid oaf who "breaks out into hives when a girl touches him!!"

I admit at first I hated it because I was a little disappointed that Satan wasn't a smooth ladies man, but eventually I started to like how he is really powerful but would just like to be left alone in peace.

Every chapter until the last volume is nothing to be overjoyed about and can only be labeled as cliched. The protagonist's development, also from the heroines to the supporting characters can all be seen as a chain of repetitive plot being drawn out. The obvious and typical attributes of each casts are shown. In addition to all that has been said, as someone had already stated, the females growth will be a huge factor to be observed. Nonetheless, the series have self-proven itself to carry a great potential as it stirs away from the path of repetitious repercussion.

The story has it all, from the main character with a dark and brooding past to the stimulating fan-service and the comedy that ensues. It's sure to bring some laughter to fans of such genre. *drools*

This series is simply amazing. It introduces a positive fan-service and displaying emotional scenes that depict the life of an all powerful. The fan-service is a plus that ties together a fantastic story with scenes that make a reader want to cry.

I'm not a fan of harem series, but this one is stands apart from the rest. Think about your typical harem manga: average and weak looking guy who has the most amazing luck ever. This one has a couch potato Satan who really doesn't have much interest in having a harem.

Oh, and for those bashing its choice of the name Satan. Think about it: what other name would convey the evil reputation of the guy yet not be too offensive (for its intended audience at least). Hitler? They probably think Hitler as more taboo than Satan. So personally I think their choice of the name is ingenious.

I love this manga though i dont approve of using the name satan (believin in God and all) i still managed to enjoy the story. i found this manga really funny with a lot of good and tasteful ecchi fan-service, with great artwork and characters, a funny but lazy protagonist(Satan) with a misunderstood rep, an evil looking bustler with the first impression of mistaken identity, a love-struck maid and an island filled with beautiful bouncy OO women how can anyone go wrong. this was a lil refreshing from your classic harems where as the main char was some average dude who manages to get lucky in love but i know there are a few similar to this but that besides the point. i cant wait to see want happens in the next chapter for this manga was keepin me in the dark from the start (see i didnt read any reviews nor descriptions b4 i read it). check it out its a good read
